Little-known fact:
Edited on Sun Sep-21-08 06:07 PM by PCIntern
It has often been stated that John Sydney McCain is the only member of Congress since the death of Daniel Patrick Moynihan who could capably serve in the British house of Lords. His knowledge of world history and politics is second to none, and I expect to be quite mesmerized at his content and delivery. Did you know that McCain is fluent in thirty-five languages and associated dialects? He is a phenomenal rhetoritician and debater and reminds many of a combination of Lincoln, Churchill, Lord Chesterfield, and Barnaby Jones.


On edit: :sarcasm: of course, but you never know...

9. Uh oh. This revelation won't go over well
with low-information peckerwoods who want their mavericks to be plain-talkin' sons of bitch! They'll turn tail at the first whiff of high-falutin' talk.

13. at first, when I read this post,
I thought to myself "WHAT?" but then saw the sarcasm. But could Moynihan really serve in the House of Lords?
